Summary

The long-awaited third edition of this successful book, is a collection of easy-to-read essays about the diagnosis, treatment and management of ear diseases and hearing disorders. Twenty-four free-standing chapters were written by a multidisciplinary group of authors, who are recognized experts in their respective areas.

Features

  • Essay type chapters offer a non-research oriented, practical and clinical multidisciplinary team approach to the management of hearing problems. The easy-to-read and comprehend style make the text ideal as a review for the national examination for certification of audiologists.
  • Five new case studies, presented in chapters 10, 11, 12, 16 and 17, demonstrate medical and audiological findings in a practical and easily understood style.
  • Charles I. Berlin's classic “Programmed Learning on the Decibel” has been included in an expanded form as an Appendix. Over the years this has proven effective for both students and faculty as they review this extremely complex unit of measurement.
